Transcript of 5 ways to assess Market, Portfolio performance
Ways to assess Market, Portfolio performance5
Nothing in the world can be judged without a comparison. Even numbers are considered to be
positive or negative on the basis of whether they are more than or less than 0.
This applies to the market or your Portfolio performance too. You will never be able to review
whether your returns were high or low without something to compare against.
This is called as Relative Performance.
Following are five aspects you need to consider while evaluating returns.
Benchmark index: The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty are considered benchmark indices. They are
considered to reflect the market sentiment. So, most portfolio returns are compared with the Sensex
or Nifty’s return. If your portfolio gave a higher return, it’s called ‘outperforming the market’
#1
Size: In the stock market, companies are divided on the basis of their market capitalisation. This
depends on the size of the company. Larger the net worth, higher will be the market capitalisation.
The Sensex and Nifty are formed by large companies or ‘large-caps’. There are indices for smaller
and medium sized companies too, called ‘smallcaps’ and ‘midcaps’ respectively. If you Portfolio
consists of relatively smaller companies, it makes more sense to compare with the BSE Smallcap
or Midcap or the NSE Smallcap or Midcap indices.
#2
Sectors: Not every industry reacts to external economic situations in the same way. Some may do
well. It makes sense to select stocks accordingly depending on the economic scenario. For this,
you need to understand how the sectors performed. The sectoral indices like BSE IT or CNX
Healthcare can be of use here. They can even help you select stocks for your Portfolio.
#3
Across markets: Foreign investors are big players in our Stock Market. FIIs usually invest in the
market that is expected to give the best returns world over. This can affect the returns in the Indian
Stock Market. This is why it is important to compare the performances of Stock Markets in other
countries too. Then take the best performing market and compare it with your Portfolio to get an
idea about the returns possible.
#4
Regions: Countries are divided on the basis of their economic development. India, China, Brazil,
Turkey and other developing countries are grouped together as Emerging markets. These regions
are considered high-risk investments. Experts often compare returns from emerging markets with
that of developed markets like US and Europe. The past two years, India has been one of the top
investment destinations amongst emerging markets. As a result, a lot of FIIs invested in India,
pushing markets higher.
